Not sure if this can work from within the dabo structure... it works from appwizard-generated apps because App.py exists in the same level as the app's biz package. Basically, 'import biz' first checks the directory where the module that is doing the import resides. So if it is Dabo doing the import, it is going to find dabo's biz package first, and Dabo doesn't have any way of knowing where the application's biz package is (I don't think). -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-dev This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-dev/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
